Areas hole punched by fallocate will not have entries in the
region/reserve map.  However, shared mappings with min_size subpool
reservations may still have reserved pages.  alloc_huge_page needs
to handle this special case and do the proper accounting.

This change completely reverts 5/9, so can you omit 5/9?
That was a mistake.  This change should not be in the patch.  The
change from 5/9 needs to remain.  Sorry for confusion.  Thanks for
catching.

You use chg or gbl_chg depending on avoid_reserve here, and below this line
there's code like below

	commit = vma_commit_reservation(h, vma, addr);
	if (unlikely(chg > commit)) {
		...
	}

This also need to be changed to use chg or gbl_chg depending on avoid_reserve?
It should use chg only.  I attempted to address this at the end of the
Note above.
" For race detection and error cleanup use output of vma_needs_reservation
  as well."
I will add more comments to make it clear.
# I feel that this reserve-handling code in alloc_huge_page() is too complicated
# and hard to understand, so some cleanup like separating reserve parts into
# other new routine(s) might be helpful...
I agree, let me think about ways to split this up and hopefully make
it easier to understand.
